Aggregates, a ubiquitous natural resource, have significantly improved the quality of life. They are indispensable for construction, serving as key ingredients in nearly all residential, commercial, and industrial building projects, as well as in public works endeavors like roads, highways, bridges, railroad beds, dams, airports, tunnels, and numerous others. Looking ahead, the reconstruction of deteriorated roads, highways, bridges, airports, seaports, and private and public buildings will necessitate substantial quantities of aggregate. While it is challenging to ascertain the precise annual global extraction of aggregates, estimates suggest that annual production reaches approximately 25 billion tons. Both developed and developing nations extensively rely on aggregates for their infrastructure needs. The book "The Basics of Aggregates" provides a comprehensive coverage of all aspects related to the utilization of this material, encompassing properties of aggregates, types of deposits, geological occurrences, exploration methodologies, extraction methods, processing techniques, and their primary applications. It serves as a fundamental text on aggregates for natural sciences, offering a comprehensive overview of the main aggregate materials with numerous illustrations and equipping students with the skills to manage the mining cycle of aggregates. This textbook is interdisciplinary and practice-oriented, catering to bachelor and master students of geology and general earth science, as well as students of engineering and environmental sciences. It is written for undergraduate and graduate students, researchers, and professionals alike, fostering a deeper understanding of the diverse types of aggregates and their applications.
